• Murray: ‘Serena is one of the best tennis players of all time’
• Andreas Mies and Alexa Guarachi are opening opponents
A frisson of excitement willowed through Wimbledon shortly after Pimm’s on Wednesday afternoon. The mixed doubles draw had landed. And there it was, confirmation of an historic partnership: Andy Murray, feminist and all-round good guy, to play with Serena Williams, the American he calls “one of the best tennis players of all time”.
This once-in-a-lifetime show will, the All England Club hope, run for longer than their first-round match against Germany’s Andreas Mies and the American-born Chilean Alexa Guarachi. “Alexa? What are the odds of Murray and Williams reaching the second week?” “I’m sorry. I don’t understand the question.”
